Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2029)

Sec. 21.1. Administrative civil fines.

The Department is empowered to
assess administrative civil fines in accordance with Section 15 of this Act against a licensee, registrant, 
certified technician, person, public school, licensed day care center, or other entity for violations of this Act or its rules and
regulations. These fines shall be established by the Department by rule and
may be assessed in addition to, or in lieu of, license, registration, or
certification suspensions and revocations.

Any fine assessed and not paid within 60 days after receiving notice from the
Department may be submitted to the Attorney General's Office, or any other public or private agency, for
collection of the amounts owed plus any fees and costs incurred during the collection process. Failure to pay a fine shall also be grounds for immediate
suspension or revocation of a license, registration, or certification
issued under this Act.
